Currently residing Chez Parents. I'm in California hometown for the spring holiday; drove down with Auggie and Rob in beautiful weather listening to a fab array of mix cds the whole way and shimmying in our seats. After a bunch of intense fam time we reconvened at a casual diner for much needed drinks. We all got tall glasses of Hefeweizen shared our "home for the holidays" stories. There are birds everywhere here, and everything is greener and messier and more slipshod than I remember. Everything seems so *small*, smaller than the way it looked to me as a child, when the little town was the whole world.
